information ipodata.com gathers and tracks
ipodata.com gathers two types of information about users: data that users provide through optional, voluntary registration on our site; and aggregated tracking information derived mainly by tallying page views throughout our sites. Such information enables us to better tailor our content to users' needs and to help our advertisers better understand the demographics of our audience. Because ipodata.com derives a portion of its revenue from advertising, providing such aggregated demographic data is essential to keeping some of our service free to users.

ipodata.com never shares any information personal to individual users, such as name, e-mail address, street address or phone with any third party.

electronic newsletters
ipodata.com offers weekly electronic newsletters to our subscribers. ipodata.com gathers the e-mail addresses of users who voluntarily subscribe. Customers may remove themselves from any mailing list by following the instructions contained in every newsletter.

surveys
ipodata.com may occasionally conduct customer surveys to better target our site content to our audience. We will sometimes share the aggregated demographic information in these surveys with our advertisers and partners. We will never share any information about specific individuals with any third party.

contests and sweepstakes
ipodata.com may offer contests and sweepstakes in the future in which we request certain personal information. These contests and sweepstakes are conducted in full accordance with United States federal and state laws. The full rules and all information about such contests will be clearly posted during such events. Information gathered is used only to verify user identity and to contact winners and/or prize recipients except when specifically noted otherwise. Again, we do not share information about specific individuals with any third party.

usage tracking
ipodata.com tracks user traffic patterns on its site and this information is correlated with data about individual users. Overall usage statistics according to a user's domain name, browser type, and MIME type by reading this information from the browser string (information contained in every user's browser) are also broken down.

ipodata.com also tracks and catalogs the search terms that customers enter into our search tools, but this tracking is never associated with individual users.

ipodata.com cookies
Contrary to popular myth, cookies do not extract private or personal information from your computer�s memory, but rather, record only select information you volunteer to us upon registering or visiting the site. Cookies are tiny files placed onto the hard drive of your computer when you register at our Web site that enable our server to recognize or "remember" who you are each time you return. ipodata.com may make limited use of cookies to deliver content specific to your interests. For instance they may be used to retain your personal preferences, hold session information or save your password so it doesn�t have to be re-entered each time you login.

site advertiser cookies
ipodata.com does post third party advertising banners on its site. These ads may contain cookies used primarily to provide data to the advertiser about where visitors are coming from. While we do use cookies in other parts of our Web site as explained above, cookies received with banner ads may or may not be collected by our company or be under our control.

If you've set your browser to warn you before accepting cookies, you will receive the warning message with each cookie.

You can refuse cookies by turning them off in your browser. Your browsing experience on our site will be slightly better if you keep cookies enabled. Read our statement on cookies to learn more about what we do with cookies.

use of the information
ipodata.com uses any information voluntarily given by our users to enhance their experience on our site, whether to provide interactive or personalized elements on the site or to better prepare future content based on the interests of our users.

As stated above, ipodata.com uses information that users voluntarily provide in order to send out electronic newsletters and to enable users to participate in polls and message boards. We send out newsletters to subscribers on a regular schedule (at this time, weekly), and occasionally send out special notifications when we think subscribers might be particularly interested in something we are doing. ipodata.com never shares newsletter mailing lists with any third parties, including advertisers or partners.

When we use tracking information to determine which areas of our sites users like and don't like based on traffic to those areas. ipodata.com does not track what individual users read, but rather how well each page performs overall. This helps us continue to build a better service for you.

We track search terms entered in our search function as one of many measures of what interests our users. But we don't track which terms a particular user enters.

ipodata.com creates aggregrate reports on user demographics and traffic patterns for advertisers and partners. This allows our advertisers to advertise more effectively, and allows our users to receive advertisements that are pertinent to their needs. ipodata.com Interactive Limited never shares individual personal information with anyone, so an advertiser will never know that a specific user clicked their ad.

sharing of the information
ipodata.com uses the above-described information to tailor our content to suit your needs and help our advertisers better understand our audience demographics. We do not share information about individual users with any third party with the exceptions noted previously.

opt-out policy
ipodata.com gives users options wherever necessary and practical. Such choices include:

Opting not to receive our electronic newsletters when registering, opting not to provide certain personal information when registering, opting not to participate in certain interactive areas, which completely alleviates the need for any information from our users.

unsubscribe policy
users may unsubscribe to our electronic newsletter at any time by following the instructions contained at the end of each newsletter.
